Sad ending for my 2020,but it kept us safe

[Martyd]

Unfortunately my wife and I were in a chain reaction crash. We were #2 of 4 vehicles. Big slow down on interstate and I was going to stop in time. Quick look at rear mirror showed pickup coming fast. Pushed into car in front of us at an angle so my right front took the blunt. Also pushed one lane over and luckily no one in that lane to hit us again. Went down that lane a bit until stopped. Trooper happened to be going by and asked if I could move to shoulder. Was able to get there. Did not leave Ranger and trooper did all the paper work. Really bad time on major interstate and traffic just zoomed by us. Wrecker to an auto body shop I have used before. Got home called insurance and after description of event was told to clear out all my stuff as he suspected I may be totaled. Ranger towed to some facility for inspection. Results, totaled. 5300 miles. At age 79 my last toy but, wife and I OK. Good protection from Ranger.
Last message from Ranger, going to sleep to protect battery. Now that's sad. Sh_t comes at you fast.

So sorry, but glad you’re ok. Ranger did a good job protecting you guys. Where did this happen? What highway ?

Great to hear you were both able to walk away although shaken up. Looks like you’re going to be in a 2022 soon though. Hopefully that is also a painless process

Wow - a scary few seconds indeed - glad you’re both okay.

Glad you and your wife are ok. Material things can be replaced, you and loved ones can not. Hope 2022 is a better year!
